The Leaving of Liverpool

Fare thee well to you, my one true love
For I'm going far far away
I am bound for California
Know that I'll return some day

So fare thee well
My own true love
And when I return
United we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee

I have slipped onboard a Red Sox ship
Davey Ortiz is her name
And her captain, it is Varitek
They say that she's a floating shame

I have sailed with Varitek once before
And I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor, he'll get along
And if not, then he's sure for hell

So fare thee well
My own true love
And when I return
United we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee

Oh, the sun is in the harbor love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again

So fare thee well
My own true love
And when I return
United we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
Oh my darling, when I think of thee
